Smith, Elder and Co., Cornhill. The publication of THS SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o'clock /1 ft 6 ,, c, , 4 : due allowance for the present political creed of our Con- I hie iustice to the excclient 1.1!.. t '; - rt, of the poi.lts in the Report at which the Times cavil are trifling in the extreme ; for it so happens that some of the as sumed blunders of the Commissioners are not to be found in that document. Thus, for example, the Times very gravely states that--" The letters patent directed them to take into consideration not only the existing means which the country presents, but thos which may be anticipated from the resources which in future may be developed. Now this they have not done, and they expressly say so at page 17 of their Report." We have turned to page 17, and find that the Times has wholly mistaken the purport of the pa-sage to which it refers, which merely has for its object the development of the existing means of the country. So far have the Commissioners been from overlooking the instruction here quoted from the letters patent, that we find an entire section of the Report devoted to the anticipated benefits from Railways, appropriately headed " On the Influence of Railways in developing the Resources of a Country." As to the cry which has been so ridiculously raised about the cost to the country of this Commission, we believe that never was there such an invaluable mass of evidence col lected at so cheap a rate. Those who make no scruple of paying money by the million for the maintenance of a sinecure Church, ought not to grudge the paltry sum of 16,0001. for the survey of a kingdom, accom panied with most invaluable plans and suggestions for its moral and physical improvement. Whether Par liament adopt or reject the Report of the Commis sioners, is quite another affair. No future proceed ing on the part of the Legislature can detract from the intrinsic excellence of a document, containing a more correct and extensive knowledge of the actual condi tion, and vast untried resources and capabilities of Ireland, than are to be found in all the books and Re ports which have been published upon these subjects since the Legislative Union. The Paris Journals of Sunday are almost as barren of interesting intelligence as the Papers of the two previous days, receivtd yesterday. The Constitution nel repeats the contradiction which it gave to the asser tion of the Journal de Franiffort, that the ukase for abolishing the national costume of the Poles was a for gery. Our Gallic Contemporary offers to:substantiate the. authenticity of the ukase by producing one of the original circulars, and states that the attempt to throw discredit upon its own acts is a state trick of the Ca- binet of St. Petershurgh. The miserable Republic of Cracow is about to be come the scene of some new tragedy, which is to be performed fur the amusement of the " Three Protectimz (I) Powers," as we learn from the following pithy notification : . " An extensive conspiracy has been discovered in Cra cow. The foreign residents have appointed a commission to try the persons implicated in it." The conspiracy thus discovered amounts, we are in formed, to the guilt of addressing a letter of complaint against the tyranny of Austria, Russia, and Prussia towards the Cracovian Senate, to the Journal des Debats. Doubtless it will he severely punished ; the object of the agents of the Great Powers being to force the citizens of Cracow, in self-defence, and to escape from their present miserable surveillance, to petition for leave to be incorporated with one or other of these States. By this means a justificatory plea, in the eyes of Western Europe, will be furnished for reducing Cracow to the miserable condition of Poland. The following news from the Mediterranean is from the correspondence of the Commerce:— " MALTA, SEPT. 22.—We have learned by the British steam frigate Rhadamanthus, which left Scio on the 17th instant, that the British squadron under the orders of Ad miral Stopford had arrived at that island from Vourla. It is composed of twelve vessels of war—viz., the seven ships of the line, Princess Charlotte, Rodney, Vanguard, Asia, Bellerophon, Minden, and Pembroke ; the three frigates Barham, Talbot, and Tyne ; a;;d the two brigs Wasp and Wolverine. The Ottoman squadron was also at anchor off Scio, and consisted of twenty sail—►iz., five ships of the line, seven frigates, four corvettes, two brigs, one schooner, and a steamer. " The two squadrons are, it appears, to cruise together in the Archipelago, and, for the better understanding of the signals exchanged between the Admirals, the Capitan Pasl,a consented to receive on board his ship Mr. Walker, commander of the Vanguard, and to allow an English offi cer to embark in each of the other Ottoman vessels. Should the Turkish squadron re-enter the Dardancile , , after completing this cruise, the British fleet will return to the island of Scio, touching at Smyrna, and perhaps at Athens." There appears to be some exaggeration in the fol owing extract from a German Paper, 'published in Paris : Our correspondent writes to us from Fiume (Elyria under date the 15th ult., that he had learned from Bucha , rest that Russian troops were marching towards the Turk ish frontiers. Upwards of 120,000 men from all parts of the empire are to be concentrated in that direction under the orders of Prince Paskewitsch, and 400 pieces of artil lery and a considerable number of transports, anchored in the harbour of Elllianowa, are to support those move ments." The annexed extracts include all the news there is in these Journals : The C'hinzere steam-boat arrived at Toulon on the 2(1, in the evening, from Algiers, which it left on the 28th of September. It touched at Bona, where it took on board the mail and the Mat shal's despatches. ALGIERS, SEPT. 2.—The presence of the Marshal at Constantine excites general attention, especially zs lie is accompanied by B,n Aissa, formerly the Governor for Achmet Bey. It is feared that it is for the purpose of establishing him as chief of the country (not the city). This would have a very bad effect on the tribes that have always been attaclled to us. The Sheiks are more and more astonished to see th we have not some more fixed plan respecting Africa. Assassinations are still very frequent in the environs of Algiers and Bona, and the guilty cannot be taken. The road from Constantine to Bona, by way of Stora, is continued without any molestation to our wor!:- men, but the Kabyles have declared that as soon as an attempt is made to carry it through their territory they will oppose it with all their might. Abd-el-Kader is still intent on the siege of Alnmadi ; he is well provided with ammunition, for he is supplied by us ; list week howitzers aid bombx were furnished him by the artillery. It is inconceivable what interest we can have in augmenting the strength of our rival, unless it be to re establish a power to which we might deliver up all Al- gem. At the moment of the departure of the Chimere it was reported that the Great Serpent of the Desert has captured Aclimet Bey, just as he was leasing the territory of the Araclus, but this news needs confirmation. The journey to Fontainbleau will not take place. The arrival of the King of the Belgians at Paris is announced for the 16th October. The King has gone to pass some days at Versailles. The Duke of Orleans arrived at Paris yesterday evening. The National Genevois says—" It is affirmed that the Swiss Burgomasters in the service of Naples and Rome will shortly retturn to Switzerland."—Le Com►nerce. NATIONAL LOAN FUND.—The Directors of the National Loan Fund Life Assurance Society, with several distinguished supporters of the Institution, dined together yesterday at the King's Arms, in the Poultry. Several toasts were drank, and the Chairman, Mr. LANIIE MURRAY, in proposing " Prosperity to the Institution," entered minutely into the state of the Society, and the progress it had made since its esta blishment, a detail which appeared to give the most cordial satisfaction. The advance which this Society has made in public opinion, as evinced by the extent o f support it has already won for itself, seems to be scarcely credible ; but when the high principles On which it is based are considered, and the intelligence and ability by which it is conducted, it w ill not appear surprising- For our own part, . having been amongst its most early i and constant to supporters— for, port conferers --a for, in our opinion, t calculated boon on humanity , b y opening out dormant re- t WITH WHICH THE « TRUE SUN " IS NOW INCORPORATED. LONDON: TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 9, 1838. At a public dinner given to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, on Wednesday last, at Liverpool, his Lordship, in al- luding to the Universal Suffrage Meetings that have lately taken place in different parts of the country, oh served, " There were some, perhaps, who would put down such Meetings. But such was not his opinion, nor that of the Government with which he acted. He thought the people had a right to free discussion. It was such discussion that elicited truth. They had a right to meet. If they had no grievances, common sense would speedily come to the rescue, and put an end to these meetings. It was not from free discussion, it was not from the unchecked declaration of public opinion, that Governments had anything to fear. There was fear when men were driven by force to secret corn binations. There was the fear—there was the danger —and not in free discussion." How different is this language from that held by the Tories when they were in possession of office I Then, public meetings were neither more nor less than " arrant farces ;" and if not that, something much worse, and to be discounte nanced accordingly. Then, if large bodies of men met in a peaceable and constitutional manner, to discuss their grievances, and petition for a re medy, they were told that they were acting ille gally—horse and foot, the military and civil power, were assembled in imposing force to over awe them ; and if this significant hint did not effect their dispersal more active means were resorted to— as in the memorable instance of the Pete'rloo - massacre, where men were slaughtered like sheep, and those who escaped, told that they ought to be grateful for the le nity shown them. Had the Ultra-Radicals met in as great numerical force, as they did the other day, when the Tories were in power, does any man doubt that they would have been interfered with by the civil authorities, and perhaps treated as their brethren were at Peterloo ? And if the Tories were to return to power, does any man doubt that the same tyrannical game would be played over again ? We are no very warm partizans of the present Ministry ; we believe them to be timorous and vacillating ; and like Fear, in COLLINS'S Ole, " scared at the sounds them selves have made ;" but let us do them justice ; let us remember that the system of Government they have established, is a thousand times more liberal than was ever known in England during the Tory regime ; that they have formally and explicitly sanctioned the right of the people to speak out boldly and to the point, on all matters affecting legislation ; and that Lord JOIIN RUSSELL, in particular, has expressed himself to that effect—in the quotation which we have just given—in terms which, had any of the more liberal members of aTory Ministry used them, would have caused him to be instantly cashiered. True, his Lordship's observations do not amount to much ; they are merely to the effect that the people have a right to meet, which no one ever thought of denying ; still, truisms as they are, they are such truisms as no Tory Minister would ever have dreamed of promulgating. We have had occasion recently to animadvert of the unbusinesslike arrangement made by the Customs for the examination of the baggage of passengers who arrive in the port of London by steam-boats from the Continent, and we have censured the extortionate practice of extracting from the pockets of the unfor tunate travellers a sixpence for each package, for the purpose of favouring a particular class of porters, in terms sufficiently strong. We had hoped thereby to induce the higher authorities to suggest a better ma nagement and to suppress this unfair demand for mo ney : how far our exertions in either respect have been successful we have yet to learn. Our readiness at all times to bring before the public abuses of a like cha racter, has induced a Correspondent to address a letter to us (which we publish in another colu mn ) expos i ng a description of trickery rarely surpassed in effrontery by might aga inst right. We could hardly have brought ourselves to believe that any party, much less men holding the well p aid and e xalted public stati ons o f c Commissioners of Customs, c ould have been guilty of the j a w which this letter alleges the contempt of against them, had not our correspondent W-K. re the ve racity of the ferred to official documents for Our 1 whuliar statement. Nor can we refr ain from exproseessing ec astonishment that the Board of T rade, p province it is to protect the manufacturer against such illegal innovation as the letter pourtrays, should, bein cognizant of the fact, h ave permitted this frau d to be g practised even for a single hour.

GUILDITALL.-(TITTS DA V.) . • .. •• . , ~ • , • • Elswit, and anothtr boy named were brongut up under the following circumstances. Thomas M'Lennan, of No. 44, Aldermanbury, deposed that on Friday afternoon last the prisoner Sheffield brought to him a large quantity of paper which he purchased as waste-paper, at the rate of fourpence per pound. On forking it over after he had gone, he found a good deal of new paper in it, and then began to suspect there was something wrong. Last night another lot was brought by James Herbert, when he was detained. He had since ascertained to whom the property beloeged. Mr. Frederick Wilson Sutton, wholesale stationer, said that all the prisoners were in his employ, and that he has frequently missed paper from his establishment. Some of the paper produced, which was ruled to a particular pat tern, he could identify. The prisoners had each acknow ledged their guilt, that they stared the money that was thus obtained. The prisoners were remanded for a week. ATTEMPT TO OBTAIN PAPER BY FALSE PRETENCES. —Two persons, named -Lee and Homer, were charged with hating attempted to obtain goods from Messrs. Mug geridge, stationers, of 61, Queen-street,• Cheapside. Mr. Nathaniel Muggridge stated that yesterday after noon, the prisoner Lee came to his counting-house with no order signed H.D. and E.G., for two reams of demy, stating that he came from Mr. Giddon of Moor-lane. Suspecting, something wrong, he declined giving the paper to the pri soner, and sent it to Mr. Giddon, who retained the goods, but said that he had not written the order. The officer said that he apprehended Homer, in conse quence of Lee having stated that he received the order from him. On being taken Homer denied this, and stated that he had not been in company with Lee at all yesterday. The prisoners were remanded. POCKET PICKING.—Dennis Regan was brought up by William Kay, of 73, Fore-street, who deposed that about an hoar before he saw the prisoner on the opposite side of the street, and watched him until he saw him take a hand kerchief from a gentleman's pocket. Mr. Frederick Simpson, of High-street, Borough, iden tified the handkerchief, and the prisoner was committed for three months. HONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY (Tills DAY), TWELVE 0' CLOCK.

We have received the Gibraltar Chronicles to the 28th of Septemb , r; they have been anticipated by the French papers. Exchange on London :—Privato Bills at 90 days' date, 50i to 50t. We have Malta Papers to the 20th September. From the above papers . " On Monday last Reschid Pasha, having completed his period of quarantine in our lazaretto, was admitted to F atigue, and landed in the Valletta, under a salute from the batteries. His Excellency was received with a guard of honour. Ac cording to the last advices from Broussa the plague continu , s to make the most frightful ravages in that city and its neigh b-mrhood : no further mention is • made of the plague in Smyrna. We have numerous arrivals of Papers this morning from the eastward by the Mediterranean steame r I b er ia ; tose from Malta are not quite so late as the arrivals in the Paris Papers of the 221 Sept. The information received from Marseilles states that the Pasha of Egypt has consented to pay the tri bute to the Porte. The intelligence from Persia states that the Schah is determined to make another assault on Herat, but great doubts are entertained of his success. By the accounts from Lisbon it appeus that all was quiet there, and the elections were not finally terminat.d. The arrival of a detachment of British troops in the Per sian Gulph, was known in Persia , and it had created a great sensation in the country. Trade, although not in the most flourishing condition, was not so insignificant as might have ben feared, from the last advices, and particularly from the state of plitical afftirs, which excite general a pprehension. Accounts from Alexandria, of the 16 th Septemtwr, state tint the Nile had considerably augmented du rin g tl e week ; a wind from the north with some vi4lence, which lasted for three days, had contributed to this event. It rose so rapidly, that fear was entertained that it would reach 2.) degrees, which was the sign of desolation and destruction; to-day it is 20i, which insures a good year. According to the German Papers, it appears that Rus sia is making vast preparations for war, marching to the Turkish frontiers not less than 120.000 men ; but her direct object is not as yet ascertained. Switzerland is also on the qui vice, and taking precautionary measures against an inva sion of her territory by the French troops. TILE FUND!.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) George Evans, a pauper, was charged by Mr. Haybittle, master of the Strand Union workhouse, with returning to the house last evening, at four o'clock, after obtaining leave of absence for the day, in a state of intoxication, and quar relling with the other paupers. On attempting to remove him, be used the most obscene language, and was ulti mately given into the custody of Glascott, the constable of the house, who received several hard knocks, in his en deavours to convey him to the station-house. The defendant admitted he had misconducted himself, but he was a very ill-used man ; and Sir F. ROE ordered him to be sent to hard labour for twenty-one days. William Harris Carey, another pauper, was charged with a similar offence ; and upon the complainant interfering to preserve order, he was repeatedly assaulted by the defen dant, and had his coat torn to pieces by him. Mr. Kirby, the relieving officer, said it took more trouble to manage the two defendants than all the other paupers in the house, and the defendant was so unmanage able, it, took six men to remove him to the station-house. Sir F. RoE ordered him to be sent to hard labour for three weeks. John Smith, shopman to Goodman Levy, a Jew, who keep an oyster-shop at the corner of Bow-street, was charged with purloining a few oysters and a bottle of soda water, at four o'clock this morning, and which, upon being taken into custody, were found in his pocket. Sir F. ROE inquired by what authority he kept his house open at such an unseasonable hour. The complainant said he was not aware that he subjected himself to a penalty by so doing. Sir F. RoE assured him that whenever a complaint came before him upon the subject he should very speedily remove his doubts, and gave Mr. Inspector Meddlicot directions to order the police to use every vigilance, and give information of any houses in which disordery characters are in the habit of congregating at unseasonable hours.

Fully yesterday's prices are supported, and, taken ;xi a whole, these are about the same as those of last sale. Up to the time we left the sale room, we should say that about 3,700 chests had passed, 2,400 of which have been sold. TEA SALE.—FOURTH DAY. The sale progresses steadily, and the attendance of the trade is to a fair extent; prices are much as yesterday, and taken as a whole about 14d. to 2d. per lb. lower then those of last sale. Up to the time we left the sale room we should say that about 80,000 packages had passed, 30,000 of which we calculate are sold. COLONIAL MARKETS. To-day the public sales were rather heavier than they have been for some time, and they tried the market to some extent, Of Sugar we had sales of 285 hhds., 120 trs., and 147 brls. of St. Lucia; 4 300 bags of Mauritius; 1,600 boxvs yellow Havannah, and abut 1,400 of White Cochin, Siam, Manilla, and Bengal. Owing to this quantity the sacs did not pro gress with so much spirit, but no variation in prices worth no tice occurred up to the time we left the sale room. Mauritius we quote at from 425. to 635. 6d., according to quality ; Siam at 20s. 6d. to 335. ; Bengal at prices betty. en 513. and 66s , according to quality. British Plantation Sugar to-day sold but slowly, but did not alter in price anything worh notice, as was the cuss with a public sale of 136 caski of Barbadoas.

MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.) A mulatto boy, aged about 14 years, was placed at the bar before Lord MONTFORD and Mr. HOSKINS, charged with the daring robbery detailed in the following evidence. Jane Phillips stated her husband was a b Aker, carrying on business at No. 51, Paradise-street, Bryanstone-square. Yesterday, having left her shop for scarcely more than a minute, when she returned she saw the prisoner running past the window with something like a long box in his hand, and looking towards the drawer where the daily re ceipts of the shop are put, she saw it was gone. She im mediately ran after him, and by calling out " Stop thief!" succeeded in having him arrested. A young man named William Brett, residing in the Edg ware-road, said he observed three other boys with the pri soner shortly before he was taken into custody. He also knew him to be a bad character, and, hearing the cry " Stop thief," he caught the prisoner, who had a momcnt before dropped the till containing the money. The police constable to whom " Young Hopeful" was given in charge, said he reckoned the money, and found it amounted to 12s. 6d. in silver and 3s. in copper. He also called the attention of the Bench to the fact of the prisoner being in his stockings, having taken off his shoes that he might the more noiselessly carry on his opperations. He was remanded until Thursday to give time for effecting the capture of the other boys alluded to, as the prisoner is known to form one of a gang infesting that neighbourhood. A youn g man, having the appearance of a respectable tradesman, was charged by a man named Henry Upton, residing at 59, Werner-street, with picking his pocket last night. From his evidence it would appear he met the prisoner between eleven and twelve o'clock last night, in Portland-place, when, having asked the latter to drink some gin nub him, they went to a public-house, and after re making some time, departed thence to a kind of " Tom and Jerry" shop, to get something:for supper, here he missed his handkerchief, and gave the prisoner into custody. The constable who arrested him, said he found the hand kerchief in the prisoner's pocket, and upon his drawing it forth, he almost fainted. _ _ . The prisoner said, in his defence, that they both were tipsy, he might have put the handkerchief into his pocket inadvertently, but solemnly denied his intention of dishonesty. He was remanded until Thursday. A. boy named Jones was brought up in the custody of police-constable 63 D, charged with letting off fire-works in High street, Sonal.r,' Town. Mr. HosiuNs having made inquiries from the boy's em ploycr, and finding he bore an excellent character, fined him in the mitigated penalty of ten shillings, telling him at the same time the fine could, be imposed to the amount of five pounds. STATUES IN GUILDHALL. Many of our readers may remember three statues of our former Sovereigns, which adorned Guildhall about 20 year. ago. In consequence of some alterations or improvements made in the Hall about that time, the statues weie removed from their pedestals, and thrown amongst the lumber in the vaults under the Hall. They appeared to have escaped the memory of the City authorities until lately, when they were found in a very mutilated state. They were shown to Messrs. Grundy and Co., the statuaries, who undertook to restore them to their original beauty, and accordingly they were en trusted to the care of those gentlemen. This morning the s t a tues were brought to, Guildhall in all their prist ine beauty, and were safely conveyed to their several d e stinations. The figures represent Eiward the Sixth, Queen Elizabeth, holding in her hand the orb and sceptre, and Charles the First, with his foot upon the globe. Niches have been forms d for the statues at the east end of the hall—that of the Queen is to be above the Lord Mayor's chair—Charles the First to be in the right-hand corner, and Ed ward on the left. They will add another attraction to those already contained in the hall, though Gog and Magog will certainly still draw the attention of the country gazers. No point of the slightest interest came before the Revising Baristers for the city, this morning. DEATH BY D RO WNING. —Yesterday evening about seven o'clock , a lady wa s seen in an agitated state passing and repassing the ste ps of Westminster-bridge, oppo site Nichols's Hotel. S . ae suddenly disappeared, and was supposed to have passed over the bridge, but melancholy to re late, one of Lhe pile drivers at the bridge shortly afterwards 0-aye the alarm of having seen some person jump from th e p i e r int Seare water, hut could not tell whether male or fe mile. ch was immediately made about the spot, but without effect, owing to the tide being at its height. About nine o'clock Mr. M'Cann of Parliament street, Surgeon to t h e Royal Humane Society, received information of the occur rence, and after a se,.rch of three hours, the body of a lady was found at the rear of Monta g u e - house , the residence of the Duke of Buceleuch. Mrs. Honey. of the Swim Tap ' af forded the mo st p rom p t assistance ; b ut it was of no avail. N o discovery was made as to whu she was. She had on a black silk cloak, a half-mourning dress, silk laced boots, a black silk bonnet, and otherwise respectably attired, gold earrings,and a r ing. She was sub4ryi,ntly cor we dding . iVeyed to St. Mar ,aret's Workhouse to await a coroner's , nquest. TEATOTALISM.—The country newspapers are brim ful of reports relating to the wide spread diffusion of teatotal ism, and the total abstinence principle ; and yet, in all places and in every street throughout the country, we see spirit shops and gin palaces. Is the progress of the principle limited to a purely pen and ink exhibition ? We hope not. THE WHEAT CROP. The following is. the niorithly circular, published on Thursday. last, by the Messrs. Sturge, of B rmingbam : BIRMINGHAM, 10TH MONTH, 3D, li3B.—The past month, with little exception, has been favourable for securing the harvest, and a very large proportion of all corn, except beans, is safe in the barns and ricks of the farmer ; and the condition, also the quality, of the wheat, which has hitherto been brought to market, has, upon the whole, been fully equal to the average of years. There is, however, yet a great breadth of grain out, in the cold and late districts of England and Inlaid, and still more in Sew' nd. It will be s , en by the annexed extracts, which are almost uni versally confirmed by our correspondents in every part of the kingdom, that the deficiency in the yield of wheat is greater than was anticipated, and even in some of those districts where a good crop was con fidently expected. The produce is now considered one-fourth less than an average ; c onsequently, not withstand:rig the fineness of the weather, and the liberation of about 1,4200,000 quarters of foreign wheat and flour, our prices have advanced, duriog the last month, 6s. to Bs. per quarter, with little disposition on the part of farmers to press sales at present rates. The duty on foreign will be 16s. Si. per quarter this week ; and unlesi a considerable advance takes place on English, will continue prohibitory. Al though prices are still comparatively moderate in some of the ports of the Mediterranean and Black Sea, and purchases may be made of reit wheat, for spring deli very, in some of those of the Lower Baltic, at 365. to 375. per.imperi it quarter, free on board, it is doubtful if any price would secure an importation of more than a month or six we:lcs' consumption before the next harvest. We have heard great complaints of the potatoe crops horn some ilistri - cts, and are satisfied there is ground for them ; but there is reason to believe it will , in m an y places, prove bully an ave rage. There has not been much barley yet thrashed ; the crop, however, continues to be generally well spoken of ; but the comparatively high value of wheat will, in all pro bability, prevent prices ranging so low as they would otherwise have done. Beans are reported to be about an average produce. Of Peas, the breadth sown was small, and the crop is indifferent ; which, added to the circumstance of there having for some time been no foreign released, causes them to be scarce, and ordinary white grinding parcels are selling at sixteen shillings per 1931b5. Tares are a defective crop ; we have, however, so many old on the market, that the price has recently receded fully Is. per bushel, and fair qualities have b , . en forcer.' off at ss. 3d. to ss. 6d. per im perial bushel. Coarse flour scarce ; price 20s. to 235. per 2801bs. at Gloucester.

" OXFORD, SEPT. 28.—As far as I can ascertain, the • yield of wheat in this neighbourhood wilt fall much short of the quantity anticipated—some farmers say onc-fourth ; but there is not enough yet thrashed in the wheat districts to form a correct idea. My opinion is, the earliest wheat soils will prove the worst yield. " BEWDLEY, OCT. 3.—Tbe harvest in this neighbour hood is now very nearly over ; and, owing to die fine weather wnich prevailed nearly through the whole of last month, has been saved generally in good condition. There is :-.0 doubt about the quantity and quality of the barley aid oat crops, both being abundant and excellent ; but witn respect to the more important one of wheat, it must ceriainly he considered a deficient one. The harvest is not nearly over about the Clee Hill, and between BriOgenorth and Ludlow some of the wheat still looks green. That on the cold stiff soils is much the worst crop ; and many of the farmers will have to purchase seed, irom being unable to thrash out their own in time. " SALOP, 10TH MONTH, IST, 1838.—0 n the cold farms there still remains much wheat uncut, which ripens slowly. As regards the yield, the reports are generally very unfa vourable, and a g reat deficiency is expected to be discovered when thrashing becomes more general. The barley crop is secured in good condition, and is expected to prove ex cellent, both as to quantity and q uality ; the same may be applied to the oats. " STREET, NEAR GLASTONBURY, 9TH MONTH, 24TH, 1838.—The complaints of the appearance of the yield of wheat are now pretty general, where it has been tried. A small lot of wheat on the ground, nearly two acres, was purchased for 10/.; but, on being thrashed, did not yield two quattcrs. During harvest the fine weather and the strAw gave the grower better hopes, from the size of his mow and number of loads ; now he is again obliged to fall back on the lower estimate, formed previous to the harvest. Our late harvest will be badly got in, but this will prove but a very small portion of the bulk. BARNSTAPLE, SEPTEMBER 29TH, 1838.—The harvest on our best lands was finished, with the exception of a few fields, about a fortnight since. On the moor lands about half the crops were in the fields the begin ning of this week, a considerable portion of which was then uncut; but the weather having been of the finest description since Wednesday last, the necessary work has gone on rapidly, and should such favourable weather continue another week, little corn will remain to be secured. Some good samples of wheat are produced from the early lands, but the principal part of this crop is only of middling quality, and some is very light and shri velled ; the condition is in general of the worst descrip:ion, as scarcely a dry sample is at present to be found. It is now clearly ascertained that the yielding, from the best landswill be under an average, and that from the moorlands will fall short of the produce of last year full one-half ; this de ficiency will bring the entire crop about one-fourth under an average. The crop of barley will be fully an average one in quantity. The entire crop of oats is the best in quality that has been for many years, arid a larg portion is now secured in fine order. It was thought it would prove an averaae ; but, as the threshing is now pretty general, it appears, from all the reports we can col lect, that the yielding falls short, eight to ten bushels per acre, from what was expe,ted. "CORNWALL, W ADBRIDGE, SEPTEMBER 29TH, 1838. On Thursday last, I had an opportunity of meeting, at a large sale, almost all the respectable farmers in this county ; their creneral discourse was, that the yield of wheat was dr.,a'dfully bad in almost every quarter, much worse than was expected at harvest, and even in this quarter there is great complaint as to the yield. A calculation has been made, that the wheat crop here will tall short of an average full one-fifth. I have not seen so bad a sample of wheat for yews, as it is on the south part of this county ; one h. if of it will not be marketable. Barley is good everywhere ; so are oats.
